I didn’t grow up learning how to can.

I learned because there were times when food was uncertain and I never wanted to feel that way again.

Today, I teach canning so others can feel empowered, prepared, and confident in their own kitchens.

This work is personal for me and purposeful.

Is the "Big One" about to hit America? The Ring of Fire has been awakened signaling the activation of once dormant volcanoes

The Pacific Ring of Fire is Earth’s greatest geological arena, a 25,000-mile horseshoe of tectonic fury where about 90% of the world’s earthquakes and 75% of its volcanoes occur. It stretching from New Zealand and Japan, up through Alaska, down the U.S. West Coast, and into Central and South America.

The United States, perched on its eastern edge, is one of the planet’s most volcanically active nations, with more than 160 potentially active volcanoes, most of them in Alaska, the Cascades, and Hawaii. A stark reminder of this power: since 1980, there have been 120 eruptions and 52 episodes of notable volcanic unrest at 44 U.S. volcanoes. The activity is not just history—it’s accelerating. In 2024–2025, a global volcanic surge saw 47 volcanoes erupt simultaneously, with 74 confirmed eruptions across 65 volcanoes, disrupting air travel, forcing evacuations, and painting skies with massive ash columns.

Master the Ice: The Penguin Walk for Safe Winter Steps

Every winter, over 1 million Americans are treated in emergency rooms for slip and fall injuries on ice and snow. We're talking about broken hips, fractured wrists, head trauma, and spinal injuries. In fact, falls on ice send more than 17,000 people to the hospital every year, with medical bills often exceeding $50,000 per incident. Tragically, falls are also a leading cause of winter deaths, especially among older adults. But here's the thing - most of these accidents are completely preventable if you know the right technique. I'm about to show you a simple walking method that can reduce your risk by up to 90%. First, let me show you what NOT to do, and then the correct way to walk safely on ice. Watch this.
"DANGEROUS - NORMAL WALKING": Walking normally on an icy sidewalk: long strides, heel striking first, upright posture, hands in pockets, walking at regular speed.
RIGHT SIDE - "SAFE - PENGUIN WALK": short shuffling steps, flat feet with toes slightly outward, bent knees and waist, arms out for balance, slow, deliberate movement.
